Esta semana exploramos el trabajo que hacen los arquitectos para diseñar y construir casas y edificios. Dibuja el plan para tu proyecto y aprende técnicas para realizar tu diseño en 3D usando materiales que tienes en casa.

Para dibujar tu proyecto se necesita: papel y lápiz, crayola, o marcador.

Para construir el modelo en 3D se necesita cualquier combinación de estos materiales: cajas recicladas, bolsas de papel, materiales de embalaje, tubos de papel higiénico, palitos, hilo, tela. También se necesitan tijeras, pegamento, y cinta adhesiva si la tienes.

Durante el Mes de la Herencia Asiática y de las islas del Pacífico celebramos las contribuciones de los artistas y de las culturas en relación a las actividades que hacemos.
